Video: Big dune jump gone wrong

21 May, 2013 |
by Benedict Pather

Silver lake sand dunes – a place in the sun where rather peculiar people gather to see who’s truck is the biggest, and which driver is most daring. Along came Mike Higgins and his modified Ford pick-up. While he probably doesn’t posses the biggest of the lot, he’s not shy to demonstrate he’s degree of bravery. See him catapult his trophy truck (wrecking it in the process) well over 50 meters over a sand dune. His dazed, yet overwhelmed reaction afterward tells us this is probably not the last we’ll see of Mike. Watch the video below to observe how he’s reintroduced to the finer points of gravity.
